    1. A current carrying coil placed in a magnetic field will experience a torque that causes it to rotate. The torque depends on factors like the current, number of coil turns, coil area, and angle between the coil plane and magnetic field. 2. A galvanometer is an instrument that converts electrical energy to mechanical energy and can detect both AC and DC currents and voltages. It works by applying the torque principle - a current carrying coil in a magnetic field will rotate. 3. The moving coil galvanometer has a coil suspended by a wire that allows rotation. When the coil is deflected and stops, the deflection torque equals the restoring torque from the suspension wire. The

    Torque on a Current Carrying Coil

    1. Statement:
     
    • “A current carrying coil placed in a magnetic filed, will be
    rotated in magnetic field producing torque”.

    ‘ is the angle between plane of coil and magnetic field


    ‘N’ number of turns of the coil
    ‘A’ area of the coil
    SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM OF A CURRENT CARRYING
    COIL
    1.  
    As current carrying conductor of length L in magnetic field
    experiences a force F = ILBsin where is angle b/w conductor
    and field.
    Sides AB and CD make angle 0 and 180 with magnetic field line,
    BC and DA make angle 90 with magnetic field line.So
    F₁ = F₂ = ILB
    F₁ and F₂ are equal and opposite forces form couple which tends to
    rotate it about the axis.
    = Force x Momentum arm
    = ILBxa a= length of side AB or CD
    = IBA When B is in the plane of coil
    If field makes angle with plane of coil
    = ILB x acos = IBA cos
    2.  Special Cases:
    1.
    i. Maximum Torque:
    • When coil is parallel to magnetic field

    ii. Minimum Torque:


    • When coil is perpendicular to magnetic field

    iii. If coil taking only 1 turn:


    • When coil taking only one turn and is parallel to magnetic field
    N = 1;

    1. Electrical Measuring Instruments:


    • “Those instruments which convert electrical energy into
    mechanical energy”.
    i. Examples
    • Galvanometer
    • Voltmeter
    • Ammeter
    • AVO meter
    2. Galvanometer
    1.   (G.M):
    • “Galvanometer is used for the detection of both A.C and D.C
    currents and voltage”.
    i. Principle of G.M:
    • “Current carrying coil experiences electrical torque
    when placed in magnetic field”.
    ii. Types of G.M:
    • Moving coil G.M (MCGM)
    • Moving magnet G.M (MMGM)
    iii. Major parts of moving coil G.M:
    • Pole piece made concave
    • Suspension wire
    • Lamp – scale arrangement
    • Coil
    • Hair springs
    1.   iv. Calculation:
    • When coil of G.M stops after deflection, then
    Deflection torque = Restoring torque

    Here 0
    I= =K
    • Where c represents couple per unit twist or torsion constant that
    depends upon the nature and geometry of suspension wire.
    v. Galvanometer constant:
    K=
    • A G.M can be made sensitive by making “K = ” small.
    • c is made small
    • A and N are made large
    • Best suggestion to make B as strong as possible.
